SERVICE MANAGEMENT<br />

Digital EDition 02<br />

eDITOr’S COmmeNT<br />

All set for <strong>2010</strong>?<br />

One of the most frequent requests I receive from industry<br />

contacts is for more information on what’s happening within<br />

the field service sector and our latest project is designed to<br />

answer some of those questions. Turn to p2 for the results.<br />

While the publication of our survey results adds further<br />

value to our Buyer’s <strong>Guide</strong>, the wealth of information on the<br />

industry’s suppliers and their wide variety of products will<br />

also prove invaluable to many service managers in the year<br />

ahead. With economic experts predicting a slowly improving<br />

economy throughout <strong>2010</strong>, the need to control field service<br />

operations in a cost effective manner will remain high on the<br />

agenda. While some have achieved this through reductions<br />

in the workforce, others have looked at the bigger picture<br />

and invested in technology to deliver efficiencies.<br />

The need to source the most appropriate<br />

technology that will match the<br />

expectations of field service providers<br />

remains an essential major element at the<br />

start of any project. For those considering<br />

cost-effective investment, the <strong>Service</strong><br />

<strong>Management</strong> Buyer’s <strong>Guide</strong> provides<br />

quick and efficient access to those<br />

best placed to deliver this.<br />

Th e latest <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Management</strong> industry<br />

survey has again delivered fascinating<br />

results, the major points of which are<br />

discussed by Steve Downton.<br />

As we move into a new decade, with the<br />

recession still having an effect on many<br />

companies, it is perhaps helpful to note<br />

the changes and consider the impact on the service<br />

environment over the last couple of years.<br />

In many cases, service has been the saving grace<br />

in recent recessionary times, providing an effective<br />

source of revenue and causing a change in focus away<br />

from service as a stand-alone offering into a much<br />

more strategic perspective. The emphasis has moved<br />

towards how service can provide support to the whole<br />

business, even to the extent of regarding service as a<br />

product.<br />

The following data, derived from a recent survey<br />

of service executives undertaken by <strong>Service</strong><br />

<strong>Management</strong>, shows how the changed environment<br />

and the different trends of service and customer<br />

demands appears to be setting the way forward,<br />

with little likelihood of regression to pre-recession<br />

thinking. The questionnaire was designed to probe<br />

service executives on their opinion of a number of<br />

areas associated with delivered services, consideration<br />

of the use of technology tools and the positioning of<br />

service in the business as a whole.<br />

The underlying opinion conveyed through the<br />

questionnaire is that the post-recession era service<br />

operations will be brand driven, with service delivered<br />

across the business, instead of service as an add-on to<br />

an existing product brand.<br />

The correlation between service and the business<br />

– the vast majority of respondents have highlighted<br />

company strategy, fi nancial performance and<br />

customer requirements as the three top infl uencers<br />

on the service operation (with Implementation of new<br />

technology closely behind). A shift is evident towards<br />

the service operation becoming recognised as an<br />

important asset of the business.<br />

The answers to question 2 indicate that most<br />

organisations believe that service will continue to<br />

contribute to the revenues of the organisation at, or<br />

slightly higher than, last year’s level, which records<br />

service as a major contributor of business revenues<br />

(nearly 60% on average).<br />

The answers to question 3 suggest that there is no<br />

single important driver of services revenue growth.<br />

However, the drivers suggested are all based closely<br />

round the customer either through new offers, new<br />

customers, or from existing customers stipulating that<br />

new ideas will be necessary; developing new offerings<br />

will attract new customers, and create new demand

The answers to question 4 confirm that customers<br />

are continuing to be demanding and that their<br />

demands will not cease. Many suppliers are<br />

recognising that differentiation can be obtained<br />

through service level agreements, by working very<br />

closely with the customer they are able to tailor<br />

service explicitly to customer needs.<br />

The answers to question 5 underline that services<br />

offered are becoming critical to competitive<br />

differentiation, with nearly 70% of respondents of the<br />

opinion that service as a differentiator has become<br />

either much more important or somewhat more<br />

important than before. Reinforcing that even in an<br />

era of commoditisation, service is able to provide<br />

the necessary differentiation to attract and keep<br />

customers.<br />

engineers was reported for 2009 – caused by cost<br />

pressure. However, the increased demands placed<br />

on service operations during a period when product<br />

lifetimes have been extended, has meant that field<br />

service numbers were maintained at the same level<br />

across the period to a large extent. There has also<br />

been a significant reduction in unforced attrition<br />

levels, as salaries remained fairly static and staff were<br />

not prepared to gamble with job security. Many more<br />

staff will be coming up to retirement age over the<br />

next five years, although many of these will continue<br />

to work until the economic situation becomes better.<br />

There is expected to be a ‘shift to the left’ (increased<br />

use of virtual tools) but this will only begin to be<br />

evident towards the end of <strong>2010</strong>, as the investment in<br />

technology begins to be applied more effectively.<br />

Question 7 was targeted at understanding the<br />

level of investment to be anticipated. In line with<br />

question 6, the consensus is towards a slight increase<br />

in investment which will continue if the economic<br />

environment achieves greater stability. The main<br />

conclusion to draw from the answers is that almost<br />

none of the survey participants is expecting investment<br />

to be reduced which means that investment is on-going<br />

in the service environment (given its very low base over<br />

the last five years, this is not surprising).<br />

The answers to question 8 are completely in line<br />

with what has been happening towards the end of<br />

2009 and is expected to continue into <strong>2010</strong>: certain<br />

solutions have remained very strong despite much<br />

consolidation in the service technology market place.<br />

With major players entering the service management<br />

market place, investment is only likely to increase.<br />

Question 8 illustrates the focus of solutions is to manage<br />

communication to and from the customer through an<br />

integrated solution, utilising staff and tools to optimise<br />

deployment thereby providing an overall umbrella of<br />

cost-effective support for the customer.<br />

Questions 9, 10 and 11 explore question 8 further, to<br />

examine the detail behind the answers.<br />

Question 9 considers the detail of the service

management solutions in place and their ability to<br />

manage the service operation. What is significant<br />

is that the majority of respondents still use a<br />

system designed and built in-house. This derives<br />

from a time when service management solutions<br />

were predominantly self-built by IT and service<br />

departments keen to demonstrate their value<br />

and uniqueness. As the service software industry<br />

came of age, this uniqueness was then combined<br />

with a standard solution to produce a complex<br />

bespoke solution. Many businesses are busy<br />

reviewing their service technology strategy, to<br />

decide on how to take advantage of improving<br />

software and internal support from the rest of the<br />

business to achieve a fully integrated business<br />

solution (closed loop).<br />

Question 10 shows that (apart from a small<br />

percentage of participants – 15%) the remaining<br />

participants not already using scheduling systems<br />

are either considering this as an option, or are<br />

actively planning an implementation. This is<br />

a significant shift of opinion from as little as a<br />

year ago. When we study question 11 which<br />

asks about mobile solutions a similar scenario is<br />

revealed – the only major difference being the<br />

increased number of those already using a mobile<br />

solution.<br />

The percentage of those that perceive see no<br />

value is still 15% - (in normal product-introduction<br />

parlance) this group is referred to as the laggard<br />

rump of the market, and difficult to influence, and<br />

<strong>2010</strong>: Revving up<br />

the focus on revenue<br />

Sumair Dutta, senior research analyst - service<br />

management, AberdeenGroup, provides opinion<br />

on how the coming year will develop according to<br />

his organisation’s industry research<br />

More with less. We have<br />

consistently heard those words<br />

used across organisations,<br />

particularly due to the uncertain<br />

global economy. This holds true<br />

for service and manufacturing<br />

firms, that have spent most<br />

of 2008 and 2009 attaining<br />

the ‘less’ part of the equation<br />

through cost cutting exercises.<br />

For a number of organisations,<br />

these cuts have come in the<br />

way of significant workforce<br />

reductions. But as we turn<br />

the corner to <strong>2010</strong>, we are<br />

beginning to see signs of<br />

investments in efficiency and in<br />

service-led revenue; shifting the<br />

focus to the ‘more’ part of the<br />

equation. At Aberdeen’s 2009<br />

Chief <strong>Service</strong> Officer (CSO)<br />

Summit, 31% of assembled<br />

CSOs indicated that revenue<br />

generation was their top goal<br />

for <strong>2010</strong>, more so than cost<br />

and customer management<br />

goals. This has also been<br />

confirmed by recent research<br />

on workforce optimisation, a<br />

function usually associated<br />

with cost cutting and cost<br />

management. Thirty-four<br />

per cent of organisations in<br />

a November 2009 survey on<br />

workforce scheduling indicated<br />

that revenue generation was<br />

a major pressure driving these<br />

organisations to improve the<br />

utilisation of their workforce.<br />

That said, cost management,<br />

particularly management<br />

of cost tied to labour, is still<br />

vital to the sustainability of<br />

the service organisations.<br />

However, in the pursuit of<br />

sustainable cost structures,<br />

organisations are three<br />

times as likely to want to do<br />

more with current resource<br />

levels in <strong>2010</strong> as opposed to<br />

slashing workforce and other<br />

resources.

Parts deployment and movement is often<br />

regarded as an afterthought of the service operation,<br />

but such considerations become more important<br />

as the service environment accepts remote support<br />

and delivered parts as important facets of service<br />

and acknowledges that integration of the total<br />

service delivery mechanism is now a necessity to<br />

ensure cost-effectiveness. Question 12 shows that<br />

the two most common methods of part deployment<br />

are courier and field engineer, highlighting that the<br />

low-cost courier is an effective option when no visit<br />

is required.<br />

The overall picture painted by this survey is of a<br />

business community which is looking afresh at their<br />

service operation and the way it integrates into the<br />

business. There is more awareness of the value of<br />

SERVICE MANAGEMENT<br />

Digital EDition 07<br />

SERvIcE<br />

MAnAGEMEnT<br />

SOfTWARE<br />

The trend within this area of supply seems to be for the various solutions<br />

to gain increasingly more functions, with many of these available on<br />

a modular basis. <strong>Service</strong> providers are accordingly presented with the<br />

choice of adding these as and when their operation requires.<br />

The depth and variety of choice available to field<br />

service suppliers seeking to implement service<br />

management solutions is comprehensive<br />

and continues to offer more food for thought. There<br />

has been a constant flow of announcements from<br />

suppliers either launching new product that includes<br />

increased functionality and features offered, or entering<br />

into collaboration with other providers supplying<br />

complementary products. Either of these invariably<br />

mean that the end user is presented with a growing<br />

number of options.<br />

The field service industry has also learnt some hard<br />

lessons about implementation. As a result, there seems<br />

to be much more awareness around the subject of<br />

change management, for example. The need to discuss<br />

the project with the workforce and ensure that everyone<br />

appreciates the benefits available, to both individuals<br />

and the business as a whole, is now widely understood.<br />

There continues to be some debate as to how this should<br />

be handled in order to gain buy-in from the workforce<br />

and ensure that the investment is successful, but the<br />

situation is at least moving in the right direction.<br />

Another area that has seen increased development<br />

is that of browser-based server solutions, encouraging<br />

more companies to consider enhancing their offerings<br />

through the introduction of remote service options and<br />

other online features. Several suppliers of traditional<br />

licensed solutions are now offering Software as a <strong>Service</strong><br />

systems and new providers are also emerging as this<br />

becomes more attractive to the field service sector. This<br />

would indicate that there is scope for more activity in this<br />

and other associated areas throughout <strong>2010</strong>.<br />

One of the results of the various new developments<br />

outlined above has been that companies are now<br />

able to choose the timing of the introduction of new<br />

features. Rather than having to come to terms with the<br />

“The result has allowed<br />

many service suppliers<br />

to improve the way they<br />

manage and support<br />

their mobile workers.”<br />

entire content of a comprehensive solution, companies<br />

are now more able to introduce these on a gradual<br />

basis. The timing can either be selected to give the<br />

workforce or regional departments time to adjust, or<br />

used to add additional features as and when required<br />

as the business develops in the future. If handled<br />

correctly, the workforce is presented with a more<br />

manageable proposition, while the company<br />

benefits from only paying for the features actually<br />

used.<br />

The subject of integration has also become<br />

an increasingly important topic, as field service<br />

suppliers continue to evolve and demand more<br />

effective interaction from their solutions. This<br />

has seen a number of systems being chosen not<br />

only for performing their core functions, but also<br />

for their ability to integrate with other systems.<br />

The result has allowed many service suppliers<br />

to improve the way they manage and support<br />

their mobile workers and raise customer service<br />

levels through improved communication, while<br />

also creating invoices more promptly through the<br />

successful integration of different systems. The<br />

above has additionally allowed many companies<br />

to migrate to more comprehensive options,<br />

such as customer relationship management<br />

or enterprise resource planning solutions. The<br />

2009 <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Management</strong> magazine feature<br />

on service management systems carried the<br />

headline ‘All singing, all dancing’ to illustrate<br />

the way in which this area of the market is<br />

developing. As increasingly more companies<br />

realise the options available to them to improve<br />

their service delivery and make savings<br />

through gains in efficiency, the uptake of more<br />

comprehensive solutions will continue to rise in<br />

number. Examples of this have already been seen<br />

in the case study articles published by <strong>Service</strong><br />

<strong>Management</strong> magazine in 2009 and will be<br />

followed by more in the year ahead. n

MObIlE<br />

cOMMunIcATIOnS<br />

The role of mobile communications within the field service industry<br />

remains an essential one that continues to be the cornerstone without<br />

which many systems and processes could not function effectively. There<br />

is now a fascinating comparison to be made between the companies that<br />

have embraced the technology and those that have not.<br />

W<br />

hen examining the field service industry<br />

it is important to remember that the<br />

majority of companies fall into the 50<br />

employees and less category, which means that<br />

many of these are unlikely to have either the funds<br />

or the need to invest in complex enterprise-wide<br />

solutions. While the majority of large and medium<br />

sized operations are now using their second, third or<br />

fourth generation of mobile communications solutions,<br />

smaller companies provide the most examples of those<br />

considering these for the first time.<br />

While this is a sweeping statement and does<br />

not include the many smaller enterprises that have<br />

invested in mobility solutions for a number of years,<br />

it should be recognised that the options previously<br />

available did not necessarily suit the requirements<br />

of those with less than 50 in the workforce. Many<br />

end users were of the opinion that the technology<br />

available at the time was not sufficiently robust in a<br />

number of areas to engender the confidence to invest.<br />

lack of coverage in too many areas combined with<br />

other difficulties, including the sending of pictures<br />

and other large files, were seen as stumbling blocks<br />

that convinced them that remaining with paper-based<br />

reporting was the best option for their company.<br />

Over the course of the last two years, however, this<br />

opinion has been heard far less often and increasingly<br />

more service managers have changed their point<br />

of view. networks are now recognised to be more<br />

robust than was previously the case, supported by<br />

the growing number of companies choosing mobile<br />

devices that include image capture and other features<br />

that considerably increase the functionality options<br />

available to mobile workers.<br />

“Networks are now more<br />

robust and a growing<br />

number of companies are<br />

choosing mobile devices<br />

that include image capture<br />

and other features.”<br />

Opinion has also changed toward the devices<br />

themselves, some of which were considered to<br />

be too cumbersome and limited – in terms of<br />

both their ability to run more than one application<br />

and the inability to remain functional throughout<br />

the working day without having to be recharged.<br />

The considerable number of options currently<br />

available range from the smartphone through<br />

to fully ruggedised laptops, meaning that field<br />

service providers are far more likely to find a<br />

device suited to their needs. Mobile workers are<br />

now able to carry out a wide choice of operations<br />

that allow companies to receive real-time updates<br />

to both measure performance and identify where<br />

improvements need to be made.<br />

As a result, employers can now take advantage<br />

of this improved clarity of their service operation,<br />

ensuring that they meet their duty of care<br />

requirements through such options as the ability<br />

to pinpoint the location of workers in the field and<br />

providing ‘panic buttons’ to alert the office when<br />

assistance is required. On the other hand, some<br />

companies have reported that productivity has<br />

improved purely through field workers knowing<br />

that their movements are tracked. The ‘no<br />

place to hide’ aspect convinces them that every<br />

movement is analysed and it is now no longer<br />

possible to call into the café between calls.<br />

The mobile worker is now increasingly able to<br />

deliver a number of service options with far more<br />

accuracy and confidence to the benefit of the<br />

company, the employee and, most importantly<br />

of all, the customer. Mobility solutions are<br />

accordingly seen as essential for the continued<br />

smooth running of many businesses that would<br />

find it very difficult to function effectively<br />

without them. n

SuPPORT<br />

While the more informed field service suppliers realised<br />

the importance of operational efficiency many years ago,<br />

increasingly more are investigating the growing list of<br />

options that are available to aid their businesses.<br />

The last 12 months has seen many service<br />

companies forced into making savings<br />

wherever possible as the economic downturn<br />

continued to make its presence felt. While a number<br />

of businesses in the service sector reported that<br />

their list of clients had remained stable, they found<br />

revenue generation had declined through customers<br />

negotiating reduced levels and lower prices of service<br />

as they grappled with their own financial constraints.<br />

While this has obviously been a difficult time for many,<br />

those that have reacted positively to the challenge have<br />

successfully introduced economies in the majority of<br />

cases. As always, there is no definitive solution in a ‘one<br />

size fits all’ remedy that will match the requirements of<br />

every field service provider. It requires the two main<br />

essential abilities to look at the individual operation in<br />

complex detail, combined with the aptitude to stand<br />

back and identify the areas that could be improved.<br />

fortunately for the field service industry there are<br />

a wealth of options available that range from updating<br />

the company’s call centre to the outsourcing of the<br />

entire logistics operation. Whilst the latter is obviously<br />

an extreme example, there have been a number of<br />

cases where businesses have achieved significant<br />

savings by outsourcing their spares handling<br />

operations. This has enabled them to reduce the<br />

number of regional depots, exercise greater control<br />

of inventory and improve the parts supply process to<br />

engineers, resulting in further gains in efficiency in<br />

addition to the obvious cost savings.<br />

The above may be a step too far for many service<br />

providers, of course, but they nevertheless have a<br />

considerable number of choices at their disposal.<br />

Adjusting the methods of parts distribution, for example,<br />

has been shown to save time in the field, allowing<br />

engineers to receive spares more promptly and provide<br />

a greater chance of meeting SlA requirements. Another<br />

alternative is the option of updating the system used<br />

to manage the repair or further processing of spares<br />

returning from the field. Improving this operation<br />

“Adjustments to the<br />

company’s field service<br />

support processes could<br />

make the difference<br />

between profit and loss in<br />

<strong>2010</strong>.”<br />

can assist cash flow by reducing the number of<br />

parts awaiting repair or, in extreme cases, rattling<br />

around in the back of engineers’ vans. If parts and<br />

equipment can be returned to the field with the<br />

minimum of delay, this will also reduce the number<br />

of times that new spares have to be purchased in an<br />

emergency to resolve the customer’s problem when<br />

essential equipment is out of action.<br />

All of the above can equally assist field service<br />

providers in their quest to reduce carbon<br />

footprint, an aspect that is increasingly important<br />

when bidding for new contracts. There are, of<br />

course, a number of ways to facilitate this and<br />

environmental improvements can be difficult to<br />

measure effectively, so those looking to improve<br />

field service support could be wise to utilise the<br />

consultancy services of the sector’s suppliers.<br />

With indications continuing to predict that<br />

economic recovery will only take place on a gradual<br />

basis, adjustments to the company’s field service<br />

support processes could make the difference<br />

between profit and loss in <strong>2010</strong>. Examination of<br />

the options available for call centre and helpdesk<br />

solutions, various aspects of logistics operations,<br />

training and recruiting of both new and existing<br />

employees along with the requirements of vehicle<br />

leasing, fitting and racking can all provide significant<br />

improvements. If the company’s management<br />

and staff embrace these with enthusiasm, return<br />

on investment can be both rapid and long lasting,<br />

continuing to deliver benefits in the years to come. n

It’s cheaper<br />

We shrink your costs because your engineers travel less<br />

It doesn’t matter where in the UK they are, your engineers are on<br />

average only two and a half miles from a ByBox location. With a<br />

network of 18,000 drop boxes at 1300 locations around the UK with<br />

a network in France and the Republic of Ireland also, we are the UK’s<br />

biggest, most accessible, most reliable in-night distribution network–<br />

one huge factor in helping us minimise your distribution costs.<br />

It’s quicker<br />

����������������������������<br />

We deliver over twenty million parcels per year with<br />

near perfect reliability.<br />

Our distribution is reliable by design, not by accident. Here’s why:<br />

order cut off.<br />

It’s more secure<br />

100% visibility of stock<br />

With goods in a warehouse, a van or a Forward Stock Location<br />

most distributors can probably let you see all of your stock some<br />

of the time or, more likely, some of your stock all of the time.<br />

But with ByBox’s Thinventory platform you can see all of your<br />

stock, all of the time.<br />

It’s simpler<br />

We can manage your whole supply<br />

It’s greener<br />

Lower Carbon emissions<br />

We care passionately about slowing global warming and<br />

believe we can play a key role in reducing our industry’s<br />

carbon emissions. Carbon emissions from our transport<br />

operations (accounting for 80% of our entire carbon footprint)<br />

are significantly lower than the industry norm. Here’s why:<br />

����� ����� �������� ��� ������ ����� �������� ����� ������� ����<br />

congestion so less gas is guzzled needlessly<br />

����� ��������������������������������������������������������<br />

into a single locker-bank stop; multiple returns collected<br />

simultaneously and fewer stops means less emissions<br />

���� �������� �� ����� ���� ��� ���� ���������� ������ �����<br />

Thinventory and they tell us this cuts dramatically the<br />

number of inefficient sameday deliveries made by other, less<br />

efficient transport systems.

da<br />

systems<br />

delivering superior<br />

service: On-time<br />

DA Systems offers NX Framework, the fi rst<br />

single mobile data solution specifi cally designed<br />

to cater for the evolving requirements of<br />

today’s multi-contract, multi-customer, service<br />

management environment.<br />

meet Customers’ True Needs<br />

nX framework from dA Systems enables<br />

companies to save on the traditional expense and<br />

time spent sourcing additional mobile applications<br />

in order to address a new customer or contract<br />

requirement. As customers become more<br />

demanding, so service providers have to provide<br />

a more bespoke offering. Traditional off-the-shelf<br />

mobile applications struggle to cater for the assorted<br />

needs of today’s customer.<br />

every Customer is Different<br />

no longer will companies that service multiple<br />

customers have to either source new mobile<br />

applications from different software suppliers,<br />

or purchase a number of applications from their<br />

incumbent provider. The problem has always<br />

been that each customer presents differences -<br />

sometimes major, sometimes subtle - in the way<br />

each service provision is required to be delivered.<br />

This is compounded further where multiple<br />

customers each require multiple disparate services<br />

to be performed. <strong>Service</strong> professionals may have<br />

to be re-trained every time a new application is<br />

sourced and will not be able to service multiple<br />

contracts without carrying several devices - so<br />

realistically will have to return to base each time. As<br />

well as the obvious cost implications, this presents<br />

operational restrictions in terms of productivity.<br />

Applications that Adapt<br />

nX framework alleviates this by being able to deliver<br />

a solution offering a way for service providers to<br />

deploy a single application which behaves according<br />

to each customer contract specifi cation. This<br />

ensures maximum engineer productivity, combined<br />

with reduced application cost.<br />

Lower Cost of Ownership<br />

nX framework enables the rapid development<br />

of 100% bespoke, mobile data applications. This<br />

fully managed solution is delivered as a managed<br />

service which reduces user costs and provides all<br />

the benefi ts of security, resilience and support -<br />

removing the need for upgrades, extra resources<br />

and new infrastructure. It comprises all the elements<br />

across network connectivity, including; security,<br />

data and device management to allow rapid<br />

development of bespoke, hand-held end-user<br />

applications. It is not tied to any particular brand,<br />

model, network or type of device.<br />

business process management not<br />

re-engineering<br />

Requiring no additional infrastructure, nX<br />

framework integrates quickly and seamlessly into<br />

any back-offi ce system - with an intuitive interface<br />

and familiar devices reducing the need for user<br />

training. nX framework is not an off-the shelf or<br />

‘toolkit’ product, which means that companies won’t<br />

have to change their business processes to fi t around<br />

the solution. With applications always being 100%<br />

fi t for purpose, fi eld service providers can take full<br />

advantage of their own uSPs and build upon the<br />

competitive edge that this provides.<br />

Contact DA Systems<br />

formed in 1999, dA Systems offers a full suite of<br />

software solutions in addition to nX framework,<br />

enabling end-to-end management across the logistics<br />

SERVICE MANAGEMENT<br />

Digital EDition 22<br />

A flexible solution to meet<br />

your business needs<br />

DX Business Direct provides a range of standard<br />

and customised in-night logistics services – all<br />

of which are an integral part of our customers’<br />

overall end to end supply chain solutions<br />

The Challenge<br />

The filed service industry is becoming an<br />

increasingly competitive environment across all<br />

of its varying sectors. Rapid customer response<br />

times must be balanced with the requirement<br />

to drive out cost. High productivity levels must<br />

be achieved alongside ever improving levels of<br />

customer service. These are amongst a few of the<br />

challenges facing senior managers in filed service<br />

organisations.<br />

The Solution<br />

designed to support field based engineers,<br />

ParcelXchange is the only 100% intelligent locker<br />

network providing a nationwide “virtual depot”<br />

network for companies with a need for secure<br />

delivery solutions. designed to compliment the<br />

ParcelXchange network, dX business direct<br />

offers In-boot and PudO. In-boot ensures spare<br />

parts are delivered into and collected directly<br />

from a field engineer’s vehicle. This is of particular<br />

benefit to engineers in remote locations where the<br />

ParcelXchange service may not be as convenient.<br />

PudO (Pick up drop Off) uses an extensive third<br />

party networked to offer the collection and return of<br />

spare parts via manned locations throughout the uK.<br />

The benefits<br />

Increase the effectiveness and productivity of<br />

your field based workforce, 90% of deliveries &<br />

collections being made pre-6.30am and all deliveries<br />

and collections guaranteed pre-8am<br />

Enhance your ability to consistently achieve and<br />

improve the service level commitments you make to<br />

your customers with peace of mind that your spare<br />

parts are where you need them to be.<br />

Improve the efficiency of your stock and spare<br />

parts management process by providing full visibility<br />

of parts in circulation.<br />

Reduce <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Management</strong> costs by decreasing<br />

the number of physical stock locations you operate.<br />

Manage your inventory costs through a more<br />

efficient reverse inventory process.<br />

Rapid Stock turnaround eradicates the need for<br />

“comfort holding” and helps to reduce van stock,<br />

which means that parts can be repaired and put<br />

back into circulation immediately.<br />

The Company<br />

dX business direct, part of the dX Group, has its<br />

operation headquarters in nuneaton, at the heart of<br />

the uK’s transport network.<br />
